I just heard of your passing today. You were one of my favorite patients. I will always remember the day I saw you at Applebee's for my goodbye dinner. It was amazing to see all my patients there that day. You gave me a big hug and your winning smile and told me how much you'd miss me. That was the last time we saw each other. You were my buddy and I will forever remember you. Fly high Jimmy. R.I.P.~Lora

I remember going to Jewett listing to Mountain playing in the Old Kettle. Names in addition to Jim include Rick Kelley, and Lenny Lawrence who I hung with at the early age of 16. There was always something special about Jim. Even though we weren't close friends, we were school mates. I can close my eyes today and see his smile, and hear him talk. For those knew him, and those who loved him, my sincere sorrow.
